Introduction
About this Guide
The SAS expander card user’s manual provides the information for functions, capabilities,
configuring and maintaining RAID arrays hosted by the expander card.
Introducing the SAS Expander Card
SAS expander card expands one SAS address to a number of additional ports. It is an
optimal device for usage in data centers

The CHENBRO 28-port SAS expander card provides high performance, high disk drive
connectivity, scalability and flexibility in various storage environments. It is a valuable
solution to other expansive and complex topologies. The SAS expander is ideal for high
availability, scalable server clustering environments, front-end storage subsystems used
in clusters, SANs and NAS environments.
The CHENBRO SAS Expander is based on LSI SASX28 IC that enables the connection of
multiple drive devices in directly attached SAS or SATA. Each expander PHY performs
SAS and SATA transfer rate at 3.0 Gbit/s or 1.5 Gbit/s with individual configurations.
The SAS expander IC supports the Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP), SATA Tunneled Protocol
(STP) and Serial Management Protocol (SMP). Those are based on SAS protocol and
described in the SAS standard v1.0 and V1.1.

Mini-SAS Cable Connector Type
SFF-8087
SFF-8088
Only ONE input port can be connected in one CK12803, and it will not work when
connecting both external input port (CE1) & internal input port (CB1).
The internal input Mini-SAS connector CB1 is only available to connect with SAS
RAID card / controller.
It will not work when connecting other SAS expander products.
CK12803 version B0 supports the internal SAS Sideband signal SFF-8485 (SGPIO)
Interface.
Connecting SAS RAID card and backplane with standard Mini-SAS cable with side
band, the HDD failure LEDs on backplane will be lit and indicate the corresponding
HDD has failed or is in the Unconfigured-Bad state.
In this configuration, use one CK12803 connects up to 16 HDDs directly. Side bands
of both types of SAS connectors support the SGPIO interface.
HDD Failure LED Signal Connector
CK12803 provides two modes to indicate HDD failure LED. Connector CN04 is the
cable direct-attach configuration. Direct attach is defined as a maximum of one HDD
connected directly to each port.

There is one LED per port (pin). When lit, each backplane LED indicates the
corresponding HDD has failed or is in the Unconfigured-Bad state. Refer to the
